Topic: Need help to soundproofing home from highway noise (Read 1011 times)

Hi, I had a house that is 500 feet far from a busy highway. Out of the house, we can always hear noise. With current two panel window, the inside seems to be quite (Around 30-35db), but if listening carefully, can still hear small noise and it is quite annoying, the noise gets louder in the morning ( I guess because of the busy traffic). By reading the post in this forum, I think the noise may be low frequency noise.

I am not sure if sound proofing the window can help? and how to identify it is window or wall problem? if I touch my ear to the wall, I can hear some sound ( like wind), window is louder.

If I want to sound proof the window, what is the better option? Thank you very much.

HI Randy, to afford the weight of the 3/8 acrylic sheet (My window is 47*67). What width of the Magnetic Tape should I use. I think the sheet may be heavy. Do you have any experience to keep it safe? Thanks a lot.

Hi Randy, I got a sheet with 37' * 61'* 3/8 and it is around 36lbs, quite heavy. I am looking for strong magnetic tape for it, do you have suggestion? Do you think it is too heavy without using screws?
